Controller Performance

Data were obtained in an operational air traffic control (ATC) setting from seven (7) FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) for 65 air space sectors within those centers. Measures used for study analysis were obtained during 90 minute data collection sessions and included: (a) ATC system inputs in the form of time of day, facility location, air traffic volume and air traffic configurational complexity, (b) the presence of a single radar controller or a two-person controller team, (c) work activity parameters obtained as frequencies of occurrence for tasks involving communications, computer interactions, flight strip activities and handoffs, and (d) controller performance outcomes based on observed performance pressures exhibited by the controller. A hypothesized path (causal) model incorporating the above variables was constructed and tested for its explanatory value. Computations of direct effects within the model showed generally significant linkages between work activities and traffic volume, level of traffic complexity, and controller configuration (e.g. higher levels of traffic volume and complexity, and the presence of a controller team were associated with higher levels of task activity). Most consistently significant, however, in its causal linkages to work activity was air traffic complexity. This was the dominant predictor, by far, of rated controller performance pressure when all other variables - including traffic volume - were accounted for by the analysis method. The time of day and facility location variables were erratic in their effect and difficult to interpret. On the basis of the study results, it was recommended that further research focus on development of the application of air traffic complexity as a measurement construct of potentially unique importance; one which seems to have been little understood and generally neglected in the research literature.

Technische Entwicklung

Die Festsetzung von Lärmschutzbereichen an deutschen Flughäfen muss gemäß der ersten Verordnung zur Durchführung des Gesetzes zum Schutz gegen Fluglärm durch die Verwendung der „Anleitung zur Berechnung von Lärmschutzbereichen“ (AzB) und der „Anleitung zur Datenerfassung“ (AzD) erfolgen. Um die technische Entwicklung im Flugzeugbau in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten und der damit verbundenen geänderten Zusammensetzung des Flugverkehrs Rechnung zu tragen, wurde das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) vom Umweltbundesamt (UBA) beauftragt, die zugrunde liegende Datenbasis zu aktualisieren und Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung der AzB entsprechend dem aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft zu erarbeiten. Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Vorgehensweise bei der Definition neuer Luftfahrzeuggruppen, sowie die Methode zur Erarbeitung der zugehörigen operationellen und akustischen Datensätze.   Summary The definition of noise protection areas at German airports must be carried out in accordance with the first regulation to execute the Act for Protection against Aircraft Noise by using the “Instructions on the Calculation of Noise Protection Areas” (Anleitung zur Berechnung von Lärmschutzbereichen (AzB)) and the “Instructions on the Acquisition of Data” (Anleitung zur Datenerfassung (AzD)), respectively. In order to account for the technical improvements in aircraft design over the last two decades and the resulting changes in the composition of air traffic, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) was commissioned by the German Environment Agency to update the underlying database and to work out proposals to enhance the AzB calculation methods. This article describes the procedure for defining new aircraft groups, as well as the method for developing the associated operational and acoustic datasets.

This article reports on the Zurich Aircraft Noise Index (ZFI), a noise eff ect index describing the integral eff ects of aircraft noise (annoyance and sleep disturbance) on the population in the vicinity of Zurich airport, integrating the considered noise eff ects to a single number valid for the whole airport. In the year 2007 the ZFI became operational as an eff ect-oriented monitoring tool serving noise abatement policy in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. During its development, various exposure–response relationships and parameter settings were studied as a basis to establish the official calculation rule. The official calculation rule was then applied to a time series of 12 years, and reasons for changes in the ZFI were studied by means of sensitivity analyses, taking into account the air traffic operations and population development around Zurich airport in great detail. The article presents the concept and implementation of the ZFI, its development, its application, and insights obtained so far. Based on the obtained results, the potential and limitations of the index to express the number of aff ected persons, its sensitivity to changes in population figures and air traffic as well as the possibilities to separate diff erent influencing parameters, and the scientific shortcomings of the index are discussed.

Public Reaction

The disturbance due to aircraft noise which is being experienced in residential areas around the world's major airports is generally recognised as a serious problem. Indeed, the problem has reached the stage where public reaction is already influencing the development of future aircraft. Such influence may be seen in current international intention to include noise limitations in the certification of aircraft. Limits imposed on the noise generated by aircraft engines should serve to prevent the problem from becoming catastrophic, but cannot be expected to provide a final solution. Aircraft manufacturers may seem confident that further improvements in performance could be achieved without corresponding increase in noise, but further increases in air traffic could cancel out these gains and still leave communities near airports excessively disturbed.
